I've just tested Gnome-Terminal on an up to date Arch Linux system. I invoked
it by typing "terminal" from the activities overview. All worked fine and I
was able to read the contents of the terminal with both speech and braille,
and issue shell commands.

So, the problem is something specific to your installation; it isn't an Arch
issue or a GNOME issue as such. We need to know what's relevantly unique to
your setup that causes the problem.
